Thank you so much for so many useful information! What a great article. 🙂

I wanted to ask in regards to the buoyancy aid for 300m+ off shore – do you need to wear it or just having it with you on the paddleboard is enough?

I have a yoga paddleboard and I really like the idea of doing some yoga in a middle of a lake. The board leash I can imagine to be able to work around but the buoyancy vest could prove quite cumbersome. So I wondered if it has to be legally worn or just having in ‘on board’ is enough?

Thank you so much in advance!

I think they are so rare at the moment they probably don’t even know what they are. Worst case is they might try to take it under the motorboat laws which means the SUP would have to be registered, but I would be surprised that you would get a problem unlsess you are going at silly speeds amongst other water users.
